In the Coen canon, it's almost the film that wasn't there. Audiences didn't show up for it, but The Man Who Wasn't There remains a favorite among critics and fans of film noir. The Coen Brothers have paid tribute to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in the past, but here it's the hard-boiled naturalistic fiction of James M. Cain that inspired the film. It's also the Coen Brothers first black & white film, and it's hard to imagine this movie any other way. To shine some light in the darkness, we've enlisted the help of the "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller, host of TCM's "Noir Alley," and author of the book "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir."

The new edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City (first published in 1998) is a film noir lover's bible, taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape of the grim and gritty genre in a definitive, highly illustrated volume. Dark City expands with new chapters and a fresh collection of restored photos that illustrate the mythic landscape of the imagination. It's a place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, host of Turner Classic Movies' Noir Alley, takes readers on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, where art, politics, scandal, style -- and brilliant craftsmanship -- produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology. Martin's interview with Eddie Muller was recorded on November 18, 2021.

We talk about classic film noir — movies from the '40s and '50s with doomed characters, sexual heat and double crosses — with Eddie Muller, host of the Turner Classic Movies show Noir Alley and author of Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir.Film critic Justin Chang reviews the new movie The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. Also, Colson Whitehead talks about Harlem, hooligans, race and class in the '60s. His new novel, Harlem Shuffle, is about a furniture store owner who's sideline is fencing stolen goods. Whitehead won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Underground Railroad, about a 15-year-old enslaved girl who escapes a brutal Georgia plantation. The novel was adapted into a TV series for Amazon.

The City Council approved a measure that would free some businesses from providing parking for customers in a move intended to increase the use of mass transit and lower emissions. Plus, in the early days of the pandemic, public health officials hoped herd immunity would provide a clear path back to normalcy, but with a large portion of people refusing to get immunized, that hope is diminishing. Also, while illegal now, racial covenants — language that barred Black people and other minorities from living in white neighborhoods — are still on the books across the U.S. and they're surprisingly hard to remove. And, a new documentary film, based on reporting by inewsource, tells the story of former Navy seal- John Surmont — who turns to an experimental brain treatment after suffering a traumatic brain injury only to face devastating consequences. Finally, it's Noir-Vember. In this excerpt of the latest edition of the Cinema Junkie podcast, host Beth Accomando speaks with Eddie Muller, host of TCM's Noir Alley.

Femme fatales, private dicks, wooden kimonoes... welcome to the world of film noir. The term was coined by French film critics to describe a style of cinema rooted in hard-boiled crime fiction of the 1940s. It revealed a darkness and cynicism that challenged audiences with something new — a world where women used sex to get what they wanted, where betrayal and deceit were to be expected, and murder was a given. Classic noir is usually defined as films made between 1941 and late 1950s. It's marked by a visual style rich in shadows, cigarette smoke, and dimly lit streets. The term literally means black film and the darkness comes not just from the visual look but also from the dark motives of the characters. To explore this shadowy, treacherous terrain, Cinema Junkie has invited The Czar of Noir Eddie Muller, host of TCM's Noir Alley and the founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation. He has just revised and expanded his book “Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir” and we'll be discussing that as well as all things noir as Cinema Junkie dives into Noirvember.

Having organized a series of film festivals, rescued little known movies from oblivion, and written eloquent odes to many a forgotten picture, Eddie Muller has earned the soubriquet “the czar of noir.” He now reaches a wider audience than ever on Turner Classic Movies' Noir Alley and has recently published an expanded edition of his milestone book “Dark City” (Running Press.) Jessie and Leonard always enjoy talking to Eddie, who doesn't take himself too seriously—and loves what he does. 

Turner Classic Movie's Host of Noir Alley, Eddie Muller, discusses with Jan Price his revised and expanded book edition, “Dark City: Lost World of Film Noir.” From Turner Classic Movies and "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller, this revised and expanded edition of the classic book on film noir will be a must-have for the cult movie genre's dedicated fans. This revised and expanded edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City is a film noir lover's bible, taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape of the grim and gritty genre in a definitive, highly illustrated volume.

This week we are joined by TCM's Noir Alley host, Eddie Muller whose 1998 book Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir just received a new expanded re-issue. Among the general topic of film noir, we are also focusing on the classic noir thriller, Silent Partner which stars Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer. The Silent Partner is a true masterpiece that many people still have not discovered. Make sure you catch it and join us as we discuss the film and its legacy.

Final July 2021 episode of the prograrm all about TV. Our guest: Eddie Muller, host of Noir Alley, Turner Classic Movies' popular weekly film showcase, and organizer of The Film Noir Foundation. Also: a segment previewing the annual North Fork TV Festival in Long Island, featurng artistic director Elias Plagianos and Bryce Norbitz, program director of North Fork's first-ever pitch forum.

This month we take our first trip to TCM's Noir Alley with 1947's They Won't Believe Me. This one stars Father Knows Best's Robert Young as a philandering playboy who gets mixed up with three women. Before long, bodies start piling up, but were any crimes actually committed? Should this crime drama find a place among the classics or does it deserve to be overlooked? Let's find out!

Nobody knows noir like EDDIE MULLER. The host of TCM's Noir Alley and the author of #1 Amazon bestseller DARK CITY: THE LOST WORLD OF FILM NOIR discusses the cinematic legacy of the iconic genre. Geoff Boucher and Eddie Muller talk about how film noir has rippled through American culture, from iconic originals like Double Indemnity to neo-noires like Blade Runner. The history of noir is just as complex and intriguing as the movie plots themselves, bringing together immigrants, code-flouters, and bold creators who freed "protagonists to become the villains."

Turner Classic Movies can be a great place to experience film history. But don't leave your kids alone to watch the 1943 TV-G Caped Crusader live action show, the Bat Cave where they'll be treated to statements glorifying the internment of Japanese citizens or as they call them, "sl@nty-eyed j@ps" (No I am not kidding nor mistaken). And don't forget General Spanky, (also rated T V-G), where a young Buckwheat scours the docks of a Southern port in the pre-Civil War South asking every white person he meets, "Are you my master?" There are films where white people show up (for no reason at all) in blackface acting out offensive stereotypes and there are no trigger warnings for any of it. We know TCM can address these issues because Eddie Muller consistently does in their Noir Alley segment. So why doesn't TCM have a cohesive rating system that takes into consideration the deleterious effects that these unanticipated racially charged landmines might have on its viewers? Join us in the discussion to talk it out.

This week Sonny is joined by Eddie Muller, the host of TCM’s “Noir Alley” and the founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation. We discussed the Foundation’s reliance on the Golden Globes for the funding it procures to help restore long-lost film noirs to something approaching their original condition. We also talked about the world of film restoration more generally and Eddie offered up some picks for those looking to dive into the world of film noir. And make sure to pick up Eddie’s newly revised and expanded edition of Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir. I’ve already ordered my copy!

I talked to Christina and it was fun and full of info I had never known. The book is fab, it has things you didn't know about Hitchy, and Alma and of course Joan. Hollywood being what it was/is there were whispers that Joan had gotten so far with Hitchy because she provided sexual favors. All I know is Joan was very talented and did a couple of films I really love like Phantom Lady and The Strange Affairs Of Uncle Harry. I found Christine when she was on Noir Alley with Eddie M. I ordered the book directly and loved it and set out to get Joan on the show. She is a delight, lots of fun behind the scene stuff too.  As a PS. I made a mistake about my beloved dulcet voiced Ronald Colman. I confused him with Charles Boyer. Ronald was first choice for the part of Maxim De Winter.  I really enjoyed finding out more about Joan. I know you will too.  You can find Christina at https://www.authorchristinalane.com and her amazon author page https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B00448NGTQ?_encoding=UTF8&node=283155&offset=0&pageSize=12&searchAlias=stripbooks&sort=author-sidecar-rank&page=1&langFilter=default#formatSelectorHeader   I want to thank Christina so much for coming on. and of course the listeners.

Eddie Muller is the founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation. According to their website, the Film Noir Foundation is a non-profit public benefit corporation created as an educational resource regarding the cultural, historical, and artistic significance of film noir as an original American cinematic movement. Eddie is also the host of Noir City, the coolest non-profit fundraiser known to man. Noir City is a traveling film festival and chief fundraising event for the Film Noir Foundation. The event is a fun, immersive festival that makes its home in San Francisco’s Castro Theater but makes its way around the country. In addition to Noir CIty, Eddie is also the host of Noir Alley on Turner Classic Movies. Noir Alley runs every Sunday at 10:00AM and showcases the best in noir. Outside of film and television, Eddie is the senior editor of Noir City, FNF’s monthly e-magazine, as well as a contributing writer to Oakland Noir, a collection of Bay Area noir stories, as well as his studies of films and his work in fiction, which earned him the Best First Novel of 2002 by the Private Eye Writers of America. Eddie Muller has forgotten more than most of us will ever know about Noir film and has earned the nickname the “Czar of Noir.”
